To follow up on the discussion of pi0/eta mass shifts in HDGeant4 relative to HDGeant, I talked to Richard at the Collaboration Meeting, and he agreed to generate some photon gun simulations to compare the simulated shower energies in the two software.

I have done a detailed side-by-side comparison of the single photon response in the FCal and the BCal. See slides posted here for details. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Ap0ifkk7GVCLq-EJuyXuSmxgsB2u-RNZmTU4et_WlFo/edit?usp=sharing

I believe this issue can be dismissed. There are energy calibration systematics with polar angle in both the FCal and the BCal that are significantly larger than the hdgeant/hdgeant4 differences.

Richard, I noticed that in the BCAL you throw events with energy more than 500 MeV but sometimes the thrown value that is plotted is less than this. This occurs hdgeant but not hdgeant4. Can you explain this?

Hi Richard,

Since I brought this up in the first place, I should take a fresh look at the simulations I was running. Just to make sure I'm on the same page, is the comparison you showed just on the output of hdgeant[4], or is it post-mcsmear & reconstruction?
